For today's Free for All Challenge to use snowflakes and pearls in your design. I dry embossed snowflakes onto black cardstock and then covered with gold Perfect Pearls. I also punched a gold snowflake and centered that with a gold pearl. I have three smaller gold pearls just above my Rubbernecker angel image to the top right.
My angel was colored with Copic markers. A touch of gold glitter was added to the top edges of her wings. The Rubbernecker "Believe" sentiment was stamped in black and then I too a Liquid Gold fine tip paint marker to trace some gold onto the sentiment.
I sure wish I could photograph gold and glitter better; this really does look quite pretty in real life.
TFL!

I'm speechless and for me, that doesnt happen very often, Charlene. This is a drop dead gorgeous winner if I've ever seen one before. I love what you did to enhance the dry embossing and your angel is so perfect for that particular nestie and card.
